Anyone with a love for reading knows that there are some books that cement themselves firmly onto our book-loving souls, the characters existing in full color in our imaginations, the stories inspiring genuine emotions, creating lasting memories for all the ups and downs, and twists and turns they took us on. Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary is one of those books for me. As a fan of The Martian (the book and the film adaptation), I devoured Project Hail Mary when it was released, and have re-listened to the audiobook since then. I’m beyond excited about and hopeful for the film adaptation of the 2021 sci-fi thriller.
Honestly, Project Hail Mary is the movie I’m anticipating amidst some huge films listed on the 2026 movie schedule, not to mention one of the most anticipated book-to-screen adaptations on my mental I-Cant-Fracking-Wait list. So to say that I’m thrilled to know that a trailer is finally coming would be an under. statement. Show me Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace immediately.
CinemaCon when Amazon did their presentation for their upcoming slate. Eric’s a fan of the book, and you can tell by his glowing response — “my excitement has reached extreme levels” is literally one of the things he said after seeing the footage — that he’s optimistic about the movie, to say the least.
GoodReads (especially considering there are more than 800,000 ratings logged for the book), I’m willing to bet there are a lot of other book fans who will be lining up to see Project Hail Mary.
Project Hail Mary hits theaters on March 20, 2026. Keep an eye out for the trailer when it drops this Monday!
